Ageing

I saw a picture of him in the newspaper, the famous writer
at seventy two, and thought - my god, he looks old; yet I´m
older than him. He was going on about his illnesses like they
should be badges of honour. I look like him, but my mirror
says I look not a day over fifty two which is a blessing.
We are all narcissists at heart and stuck with an image of
ourselves that is untrue, but life cannot rob us of our delusion.
A warning though, do not smile at women who have not got
a wrinkle or two and need to dye their hair.
